rusheS forced Carney down three times,
either by his weight or through slips. From
the tenth TO the twenty-flrst round the fight
ing was of a desperate character,
but slow, neither man being
badly punished. The battle was
of the kind that bergars description, and
the crowd was wildly excited Twanty-one
rounds took one hour and twenty thrsa
minutes, and although McAuhffe had q
shade the best of it at that time seemingly,
yet the Carney mon were iubilanb. Ths
betting was then in favor of McAuliffe two

CARNEY's TACTICS.
80 lar Carney'S tactics were IN accord
ance with his expressed intentions to worry
and tire McAuliAe, and murder him
IN the ring. McAuliffe forced tbs
fighting, but so little punishment
did he do to Jem that the friends Of the
latter asserted that he was sure TO win The
fight took place five miles from telegraph
station. Carney's expressed determination
was to make the battle a long, desperate
and murderous onslaught on the Williams
burger. He carried out his intention At
the forty-fifth round it was seen that bis
tactics were bound TO be successful in spite
of the splendid staying power Of McAuliffe.
FULL OF PLUCK.
The Brooklyn boy was full Of pluck and
stood up to the Englishman in great shape ss
long as he had enough life in him to hold up
his hands or stand on his feet At the end
of that round it was seen that it
was only question Of time and
that Carney was surely winner
AT 4:30 o'clock Carney and McAuliffs
had fought fifty-four rounds. The fiftv-
fourth was desperately fought and both
men were strong. They were able to fight
two hours more. The betting changed with
every round, but as a rule Carney was the
favorite at small Odds The ring was
broken down in the seventy-fourth round,
and as both men were able to continue the
referee postponed the fight The time for
the next meeting is to be mutually agreed
upon. The fight lasted four hours and fifty
five minutes

RATES TO BILOXI.

Gives a Hearing.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.--The Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day gave a hear
ing upon the complaint of Lopez Dunbar's
Sons & Co., of Biloxi, Miss, against the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company,
charging discriminating rates from Cincin-
natl, as compared with those to New, Or
leans. E. l.. Baxter appeared as
attorney for the railroad, and
John NJ. Culp, General Freight
Agent Of the railroad, was examined as
witness. The complainant was not present
in person or by counsel. The testimony
covered the general principles which govern
the making of freight rates. 1t was ex.
planned that Biloxi, lying between New
Orleans and Mobile, both of which get low
rates by reason of water competition, also
gets the benefit of this competition, but not
so fully as the two points named, the rates
TO Biloxi being made by adding the rates
from Cincinnati to Mobile or New Orleans
to the local rates, thence to Biloxi.
